Project: remix360
Fifteen sounds, 360 remixes, your creativity.
Do you like mixing and mashing up music and sound? ABC Radio National’s program 360 challenges the Pool community to remix360: can we create 360 different remixes from fifteen sounds? The sounds are all sourced from ABC documentaries.
Some of the best remixes will be played as ‘stings’ on 360, which means they’ll be used to break up some of the radio talk during a program. You’ll be credited on the website and blogged about on Pool. You are also free use them in your own radio programs and other audio creations as well because they're all licensed as Creative Commons.
This is an ongoing project with no deadline and also no limits on the amount of submissions per person, so feel free to join in any time!
WHAT NEXT?
Start with any of the 15 sounds listed below. You can either mix these together, add new sounds, use samples from any 360 program, or remix other remix360 contributions. Just make sure you use at least one of the original 15 sounds and keep it shorter than two minutes. remix360 is looking for audio remixes to broadcast on radio but you're welcome to contribute through other media too.
